点评:What a wonderful experience this turned out to be. I have to be honest in that i've visited before many years ago when i was onboard HMS Campbeltown. The return trip was solely based on this prior association, however i heartily recommend this distillery tour to anyone with an interest in Whiskey. The name of the tour we took was the Barley to Bottle, it is expensive but totally worth the price. It was a full day at the distillery which started at 1015 in the bar with a lovely Hazelburn single malt - of note if you are driving you will not be allowed to Drink however they will provide you with take away samples of all of the tasting. We then went on a complete tour of the distillery, right from where the barley comes from, the soaking and drying area - which are totally manual back breaking work. All members of staff were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Craig and Stuart were our phenomenal guides - thanks gents we had a blast! We then had a cask tasting session with a brilliantly talented youngman whose name fails me (hey i did have a number of whiskeys) Then we had a wonderful locally sourced lunch in the bar with another tipple. They afternoon was spent blending our own single malts with Finely, Everyone on the tour got to take a 70cl single malt they blended home with them. It was a brilliant experience and one i will not forget - Toured with my wife on 3rd August 2026
翻译:这真是一次美妙的体验。说实话,多年前我曾在乘坐HMS坎贝尔敦号军舰时来过这里。这次重游完全是出于之前的那段经历,不过我真心向所有对威士忌感兴趣的人推荐这次蒸馏厂参观之旅。我们参加的游览项目名为“从大麦到酒瓶”,虽然价格不菲,但绝对物有所值。这一天我们在酿酒厂度过得充实而愉快:活动于上午10点15分在酒吧开始,我们品尝了美味的Hazelburn单一麦芽威士忌。需要提醒的是,如果您要开车,则不允许饮酒;不过酿酒厂会为您提供所有品酒样品的便携装带回家。随后我们参观了整个酿酒厂,从大麦的来源地,到浸泡与烘干区域——这些工序全靠人工完成,辛苦程度不言而喻。所有工作人员都非常出色、友善且博学多识。克雷格和斯图尔特是我们出色的向导——谢谢二位,我们玩得开心极了!随后,我们与一位才华横溢的年轻人一起品鉴威士忌,只是我记不起他的名字了(唉,当时我喝了不少威士忌呢)。接着,我们在酒吧里享用了用当地食材制作的美味午餐,还再喝了几杯。下午的时间则用来调配我们自己专属的单一麦芽威士忌。参加这次活动的每个人最后都带走了一瓶自己亲手调配的、容量为70厘升的单一麦芽威士忌。这是一次极棒的体验,我终生难忘——2026年8月3日,我和妻子一同参加了游览。
